AppAdvice: Different posts of different sizes are scattered around. Swing your rope out to attach to a post and swing around it to collect the jewels and to launch off in the direction of more jewels. It seems that heavy armor makes no difference whatsoever for a Knight of the Round Cable, since he can zip around like a rocket. This game’s physics are reminiscent of another Chillingo title, Cut the Rope.
TMA: There’s a popular saying that “there is nothing new under the sun”. The video game industry is a prime example of this, as most popular games these days can be broken down into a handful of categories, and it’s not uncommon to see the word “clone” in a review.
TheAppera: Smooth, simple, and colorful. It alls comes together nicely. Not on part with the visuals though is the audio side of the game. After playing it for a while, I ended up just playing the rest of the game in silent. Both the music, and the sound effects, although good in the beginning, quickly became annoying.
Touch Arcade: Ever hear of an XBLA title called Rotastic? It's an endless game by Dancing Dots and Focus Interactive. It had a cool premise and an awesome swinging mechanic, but unfortunately didn't find footing on its platform. Lucky for us, the duo has decided to try again, except on iOS instead with a game called Knights of the Round Cable [99¢]. If you’ve played the original Rotastic, you’ll notice the similarities -- right down to the art style and core mechanics. This can be distracting at times, but Round Cable does manage to nail its touch interface and has been tweaked to make it more friendly. It's a better game for these changes, and it feels at home on iOS.
